discover the secrets of Lerik's long livers

Perched high in the Talish Mountains, the quiet town of Lerik is surrounded by an outstanding natural landscape of mountains, rivers, and waterfalls. This, of course, contributes to why Lerik is known as the Land of Centenarians - the water, air, and plants here are so pure and lush that they are believed to have a medicinal quality. In Lerik, the number of long livers remains high to this day. It is no coincidence that the unique Museum of Longevity was established in this region. Built with modern architectural elements, the museum consists of two halls and features over 2,000 exhibits, including interesting information and photographs, about more than 50 residents of Lerik who are over 100 years old. One of the individuals featured here is Shirali Muslimov, a resident of the nearby village of Barzavu, who lived for an astonishing 168 years!
